NFL Playoff Picture 2024/25: Standings, Bracket Scenarios and results after Week 13 ahead of Super Bowl LIX

The NFL regular season is nearing its conclusion, and the top players in the world are still vying for a berth in Super Bowl LIX.

In 2024, quarterback superstar Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to their second straight Super Bowl victory, something the New England Patriots had not done since 2004.

And because they are now at the top of the AFC Standings, the NFL giants are predicted to reclaim their title.

Nonetheless, the Detroit Lions have earned an excellent 11-2 record after Thanksgiving on the NFC side of the playoff picture.

But until we learn which two teams will compete on the grand stage in New Orleans early next year, there are likely to be many twists and turns.
